Yes their last two PHP releases of 4.0.6 have been safe, patched to secure
the file_upload bug.  The last package had a problem with the default MySQL
socket being in the wrong location, breaking many web servers that used the
PHP and MySQL combination.  It was a simple fix to edit the php.ini config
file, but they released an updated errata package to prevent more problems
in the future.

I personally use PHP 4.1.2 on some of my machines because I need some of the
newer features found only in 4.1.x, but if you don't need those new features
then the updated 4.0.6 packages from Red Hat should be fine.
